London Mayor Ken Livingstone has dodged the question of what criteria he will use to adjudicate on the appeal from Barnet Council over the Grosvenor Road barrier.

His move was the result of a question from London Assembly member and Haringey councillor Lynne Featherstone at Mayor’s Question Time.

Commenting, Lynne Featherstone said:

“Ken has totally ducked the question of what criteria he will use to make his decision or when it will be made.

“I have written to the Mayor again to ask again specifically on what basis he will make his decision and when he will make it. Local residents in Alexandra, Muswell Hill and Fortis Green want to know.”

Ward councillor Susan Oatway added,

“This appeal should be resolved quickly and clearly so that we can get a final decision and move on. The continuing delays and uncertainty don’t help anyone.”
